The last time Seymour was in Oakland he was handed his walking papers. The aging defensive tackle isn’t exactly what he used to be. Coming off a mediocre and injury filled season, Seymour hasn’t drawn much attention in free agency.

Why would he? The NFL today is all about young playmakers. Veterans like Seymour typically expect to be paid top dollar for their services. The truth is, Seymour, has maybe two good years left in the tank. And that is being generous. What GM is going to pay the washed up Pro-Bowler that kind of money for a two down, injury prone lineman.

Bringing Seymour to a cross roads in his career. He can choose to continue looking for a high paying job on a contending team.

Or he can accept reality and lower his price, hoping to get signed by a team like the Atlanta Falcons. Seymour would certainly add talent to the defensive line in Atlanta. All the while, being a part of a Super Bowl contending squad.

However, if Atlanta deems Seymour as a lost cause, too riddled by injury to use up the cap space he will be out of a job. This could result in Seymour crawling back to Oakland.

Oakland could use any experienced help available on the defensive line. So if Reggie can’t reel in anyone else (Dwight Freeney is a name being thrown around) he may reach out to Seymour.

The sun is beating down from in between the clouds in Oakland, California. O.co Coliseum is packed, and the Black Hole is roaring. RG3′s jersey is covered in grass stains as sweat drips from his brow. He glances up at the clock and sees that their one first down away from sealing a win. The Redskin’s quarterback takes the snap and drops back to pass, he steps up in the pocket to avoid a bear hug from Lamarr Houston. As he begins to scramble out of the pocket, Sio Moore, leaves his linebacker position to cause some damage. Unable to escape, Griffith, unloads a tight spiral to Pierre Garcon’s deep in route. As the ball floats towards the receiver’s grasp, it meets an unexpected yet familiar face. Number 24, Charles Woodson, flies in from the safety position to pluck the ball away. The crowd goes wild and Mark Davis cuts his hair.

This could be a very real reality for Oakland Raider fans (minus the Mark Davis haircut). Charles Woodson has expressed how anxious he is to return to the field via NFL.com.

So would Oakland be interested in signing their former corner? At the current moment, Oakland seems to be all set in the secondary. However, can McKenzie turn down the former Packer? Woodson would certainly add veteran leadership, and of course his stellar ability to play anywhere in the secondary. McKenzie knows that from his time in Green Bay. The Canton bound Woodson would turn this into an extremely potent defense.

With D.J. Hayden and Mike Jenkins ready to start at corner(Tracy Porter at nickel corner), Woodson would most likely fit best at safety. Alongside the helmet smashing Tyvon Branch, quarterbacks would just stop passing the ball. Unfortunately for Usama Young, he would have to wait another season or two in order to get his shot.

In my opinion Reggie has to at least kick the tires on this guy. Sit him down, feed him lunch, talk about taking a pay cut and the difference he would be making. Then Reggie can move on to addressing issues of real concern (offensive and defensive line). If Woodson signs, great. If not, than at least we tried.

Most of these men will only be in camp long enough to have a cup of coffee and perhaps see some limited action in preseason contests. But using Rod Streater as an example you never know when a hidden gem will sparkle once offseason workouts begin.
